BUTTOCK LIFT AND ENLARGEMENT

       The plastic surgery techniques and procedures for buttock enlargement have made substantial strides over the past few years. Previously only silicone elastomer implants were available for enlargement of the buttocks.  These silicone blocks led to firm buttocks with a high rate of complications and I no longer use them. Over the past 5 years a new technique using the patient’s own fat has gained popularity especially amongst Brazilian plastic surgeons and has come to be known as the Brazilian buttock augmentation or lift.

BRAZILLIAN BUTTOCK LIFT is a procedure performed by doing liposuction of several liters of fat from the patient’s hips, thighs and abdomen and injection of the fat into the buttocks using multiple passes of a small tube to place the fat in linear channels under the skin and in the buttocks' muscle. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes 2 to 3 hours. You may need to have someone stay with you the night after surgery and can usually resume work in 2 to 3 days. The cost includes the hospital fee, anesthesia fee and all of your follow up visits.   BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION WITH SILICONE IMPLANTS is performed by placement of solid silicone implants under the muscle or skin of the buttocks. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-1.5 hour. You may need to have someone stay with you the night after surgery and can usually resume work in 2 to 3 days. The cost includes the hospital fee, anesthesia fee and all of your follow up visits.
